NXFrameLinkRect scaled views bug workaround

Q:  When I use the function NXFrameLinkRect() to draw a link fence around a rectangle, it doesn't draw correctly in a scaled view.  What am I doing wrong?

A:  This is a known bug in the AppKit.  There is a patch available on the archive server that you can link in with your application to circumvent this bug.  The patch consists of one .o named NXFrameLinksFix.o and contains one entrypoint:  fixedNXFrameLinkRect().  The arguments are the same as with NXFrameLinkRect().  You should call this whenever you would normally call NXFrameLinkRect() to get correct drawing in scaled views.
	
	The patch is available via anonymous ftp (file transfer protocol) from one of the following Internet archive servers cs.orst.edu or sonata.cc.purdue.edu in /pub/next/patches (may still be in /pub/next/submissions).  It is called FrameLinksFix.tar.Z and contains this NeXTanswer as a README file.  The checksum for FrameLinksFix.o is:
